Chapter Twenty-Three: The Baby-faced Doll Fish
The fat man was successfully rescued by us, and the smoke man's junior brother Kuroko coughed while saying that their other brother was broken, and he was swallowed alive by a baby fish that was bigger than a crocodile and more ferocious.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and sad, but I was even more worried about the safety of the remaining teammates in the lake, so I immediately turned around and jumped into the lake again.
The cold and biting water of the lake is now not only pitch black, but also very turbid, and the search is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I prayed silently in my heart, You Guide and others, but nothing happens.
The middle of the lake had been searched, and I swam to the south, where countless baby-faced fish followed me closely. Once again, I gave full play to my swimming skills, flashing flexibly in the water like a fish, avoiding the approach of the baby fish again and again.
Baby-faced baby fish have teeth and cannot chew, but can only swallow dates like snakes, so as long as they do not swallow or entangle their limbs, they can effectively avoid their attacks.
Luckily, swimming is my forte, and I am more free in the water than on land, and my body is more flexible.
Countless strange-looking baby-faced baby fish chased after me, although they didn't approach me, but they couldn't get rid of it at all.
Suddenly, I noticed a very large baby fish in front of the lake, and hurriedly turned around in panic, preparing to flee. When I saw an arm waving at me in the water for help, I hurriedly fixed my eyes on it.
It turns out that the huge baby fish is actually Ugin, and he has been swallowed by several baby fish, like a huge baby fish. He was being dragged by a salamander and swam towards the opposite shore.
Ugin couldn't swim, and his limbs were limp and he was dragged away by the baby fish. I saw that he had opened his mouth wide and rolled his eyes. When Yan zhòng drowned, he immediately rushed to the front of the school of baby fish, and successfully rescued Ugin with the vajra in his hand.
But the school of baby fish around me was willing to let go of the fat in their mouths, and they kept opening their mouths to swallow us. However, due to the size of the two of us, the baby-faced doll fish had to change their strategy and wrap their hands around me and Ugin's bodies.
I tugged on with Ugin. I have to get rid of the entanglement of the baby fish from time to time, the strength is exhausted a little bit, and the air stored in the lungs will also be consumed, and it won't be long before we will be dragged into the depths of the lake by many baby fish.
To add insult to injury, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a very large figure on the side. Swiftly approaching me in the water. In the blink of an eye, Ugin, which I was dragging in my hand, was bitten by a baby fish the size of a hippopotamus.
I saw that the lower half of Ugin's body had disappeared into the fish's mouth, and I was so anxious that I was about to breathe fire. And at this time, Ugin, who had been unconscious. I woke up with a painful expression on my face and eyes looking straight at me. His eyes were full of earnest pleas for help.
I smiled and comforted Ugin with my eyes. I will never let go of him. Although I have absolutely no intention of saving people, how can I fight with a baby fish the size of a whale? What's more, in the water, I still have to endure the endless harassment and entanglement of a group of small baby-faced baby fish.
Ugin and I were dragged to the bottom of the lake by the huge salamander, and the air in our lungs disappeared in an instant, and I couldn't help but open my mouth wide and swallow a large mouthful of bitter water. At the same time, the giant salamander suddenly opened its mouth and spit out Ugin, leaving me with only half a bloody arm.
My anger made me forget the pain of not being able to breathe, and I took the vajra and went straight to the giant salamander that could not swim because it had swallowed Ugin. As fast as lightning, I sliced open its belly, and the swallowed Ugin fell out with a thud, and I immediately dragged him to the shore.
I dragged Ugin ashore and found that Guide You and the others had already reached the shore safely. It turned out that the experienced guide You, after discovering that something was wrong in the lake, quickly pulled the six young men and Duan Er Ye beside him and swam towards the south side of the lake, and then the three of them clinged to the soil wall at the bottom of the lake, and moved gently and slowly to the shore little by little. Because the three of them moved very carefully, they moved as fast as turtles, so that they would not be spotted by the school of baby-faced fish, and they had just arrived at the shore.
Ugin, who I rescued, was covered in viscous gastric juice, and his skin was only slightly corroded. But his body, because it was tightly squeezed in the stomach of the giant salamander, the bones had been crushed, and the body took on a twisted shape, and his head was tilted to the side.
After checking it, the seventh master said, "It's hopeless." Then he stood up, patted me on the shoulder, and said to me, "You've done your best." ”
I tried my best, but it was still because of my lack of ability that little Brother Ugin died so miserably. I felt very sad in my heart, but my mind was very clear, I was the leader of this team, and I had to be responsible for the other teammates who were still alive. He immediately stood up from the muddy ground, bowed to Ugin's body for three seconds of silence, and then immediately beckoned everyone to run.
The ugly and strange baby-faced baby fish is an amphibian, they can move freely in the water and on land, although we are lucky enough to escape from the water, but we have not escaped the sphere of influence of the baby face baby fish, we must leave this place as much as possible.
Everyone put on their backpacks and ran forward in the darkness, stepping on the muddy ground, on the banks of different shades.
As I expected, a group of white merfolk, large and small, crawled from the lake to the cold underground riverbank, and began to crawl behind us in a frenzied pursuit, moving even faster than in the water, and they were about to catch up.
The underground river next to me was getting narrower and higher, and I knew I was nearing the end of the riverbank. Once we reach the end of the riverbank, we can go up the underground river to the surface. But what I never expected was that my dream fell through.
At the source of the underground river, there is a permeable multi-layered erosion rock, which does not lead to the ground at all. And just when everyone was disappointed, Zha Ling'er found that there was a very faint light on the ground on the other side of the river, which was penetrating from a cave-in above.
Everyone immediately waded across the icy underground river to the opposite bank, and all stood at the bottom of the pit. Because the light cast was very weak, I thought the hole was very small, but I didn't expect the hole to be so wide with arms outstretched, and one story high from the ground.
When the smoke man reached the bottom of the pit, he jumped upward, inserted an iron pipe into the hole, and then jumped up again to grab the iron pipe, and his body took advantage of the momentum to rotate upward, and directly turned out of the ground.
At this time, some of the baby-faced doll fish had already jumped into the river. I saw more than a dozen adult baby-faced baby fish on the opposite shore, more than two meters long, looking exactly like a human lying on the ground, which was extremely terrifying.
The smoke man's two junior brothers, Night Owl and Kuroko, just like the smoke man, climbed to the ground vigorously. Immediately afterwards, the fat man, the monkey and Duan Erye, these people with kung fu, all turned to the ground with the help of the iron pipe above.
I stayed at the end, holding the vajra and covering everyone's evacuation.
Zha Seventh Master picked up Zha Ling'er and asked her to jump up with the help of the iron pipe, I saw Zha Ling'er lying on the iron pipe very hard, with no way up and down, and immediately shouted: "Fatty, rope." ”
The rope hung down from above, and the school of baby-faced fish was already in front of me, and without paying attention, I was hugged by a baby-faced baby fish in both legs. When I looked down, I saw the dark eyes of the doll fish, and my heart suddenly swelled up, and the child hugged his father's thighs and coquettishly felt, and the vajra in his hand did not swing out, but hung down weakly.
Suddenly, my right foot was swallowed by a large salamander, and the pain in my leg like a broken bone immediately came from the pain, and my head suddenly cleared up, and I was no longer confused by the baby-faced baby fish, and quickly resolved the battle. I saw that Liushao went up to the ground very flexibly, and now in the underground dark river, only me and Guide You were left.
I immediately dragged him by the waist and told him to grab the iron pipe above, and then grab the rope above and climb up.
I sent everyone out of the cave safely, but I was trapped by a school of baby fish, and I couldn't get out for a while.
Moreover, several giant salamanders that looked like adults actually climbed on the dirt wall, trying to swallow me whole from top to bottom.
I was caught by many baby fish and couldn't move my legs, although the vajra in my hand solved a batch, but there will be new ones, and the battle is in a sticky entanglement state, and I can't get out at all.
At this time, the fat man put his upper body into the hole, and when he saw my condition, he wanted to come down to help, and I immediately stopped him. If he jumps rashly, he may be attacked by a giant salamander lying in ambush on top of the dirt wall, and once he steps on the ground, he will be trapped by many baby-faced baby fish, and it will be difficult to get out again.
So I immediately shouted at the top, "Get me a torch." ”
I didn't expect my unreasonable request to be implemented so quickly.
The cigarette man screwed together his remaining two iron pipes, wrapped a piece of clothing at one end, and really made me a simple torch.
I lit the torch and swung it vigorously, besieging my baby fish, and immediately dodged, but some of them still couldn't dodge, and their bodies were scorched, and an unusually tempting fragrance immediately wafted around them, making people can't help but swallow their saliva.
There was a lot of space around me, and when I saw an opportunity, I immediately extinguished the torch, then took a few steps back, and jumped up, climbing onto the iron pipe in the cave, and then thrust the other two iron pipes upward, and then struggled to climb the iron pipe above, and then was pulled to the ground by the crowd.
